Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method thus than an installation for the manufacture of a fiber cable optical.
- Conventional fiber optic cables have a set of fibers assembled together in the form of tablecloths, already wired fibers, or strips, which are surrounded by a first external tube, of structure rigid or flexible, produced by extruding a material synthetic.
- optical fibers are freely housed inside the tube and a material viscous, such as a protective grease called under the British name "jelly" is injected into inside the tube to drown said fibers therein.
- a material viscous such as a protective grease called under the British name "jelly”
- the manufacturing of this type of cable is carried out from so that the fibers inside the tube have, in relation to it, an extra length chosen, obtained by the influence and combination of different parameters throughout the chain manufacturing.
- the optical fibers are unwound from a reel with a supply reel free rotationally mounted on an axis, the tension of the unrolled fiber being controlled to remain constant.
- the fat or "jelly” is injected to fill the tube and to coat the optical fibers in this one.
- the plastic tube is cooled in a first cooling tank, and it is stressed in tension, being wrapped around a first withdrawer.
- the process continues with the passage of the tube through another cooling tank and at through another retractor, with a control of pulls on this tube, via gauges constraint.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method and a facility for manufacturing a fiber optic cable, to address these disadvantages and thanks to which the smooth appearance and shape circular tube surrounding the fibers can be controlled, regardless of the number of fibers inside of it, while also allowing control adequate extra length on these fibers.
- the present invention therefore relates to a method of manufacture of a fiber optic cable of the type comprising a tube in which said fibers are housed, as defined in claim 1.
- the invention further relates to an installation for manufacturing a fiber optic cable of the type comprising a tube in which said fibers are housed, as defined in claim 10.
- These cables which are identified here by the general reference 1, each comprise an extruded outer tube 2 made of a flexible or preferably rigid synthetic material, such as polyamide, polybutylene terephthalate or polypropylene.
- a certain number of optical fibers 4 (only one being here referenced) assembled together in the form of sheets or strips 6a, according to the embodiment of Figure 3a.
- the sheets or strips 6a are maintained, with respect to the outer tube 2, at a radial distance d from the latter, so that the sheets or strips 6a do not touch the inside wall of the tube 2 .
- the optical fibers 4 are grouped together according to four bundles or cables 6b respectively held and surrounded by a holding tube 3.
- Each bundle 6b, and in particular its holding tube 3 is disposed at a distance d from the outer tube 2 into which the grease or “jelly” is injected V.
- the invention is of course not limited to obtaining the cables according to FIGS. 3a and 3b which are shown here by way of example .
- a viscous material V such as protection generally called under the name british "jelly” is injected inside the tube 2 to fill the free space left between the tube 2 and the layers or strips of optical fibers, referenced 6a, or the wired harnesses 6b.
- upstream and downstream will be used with reference to the meaning of scrolling of the optical fibers 4, and more generally in reference to the direction of travel of cable 1 in installation 10, in accordance with arrow D.
- optical fibers accompanied by the reference 4 will be used to qualify the form of strip fibers, referenced 6a or the form in already sheathed bundle, referenced 6b, and this for facilitate the rest of the description.
- reel means 12 Upstream of the installation 10, are arranged reel means 12 which have several coils debtors (not shown) on which are wound optical fibers 4.
- optical fibers 4 which are represented so schematic in FIG. 1 by a broken broken line, are taken from the reel means 12 to pass through an extrusion head 14, shown more detailed in FIG. 2.
- This extrusion head 14 which is essentially of classical structure, is capable of melt a synthetic material, generally supplied in the form of granules or "coumpound", by heating at very high temperatures.
- the material (referenced M in FIG. 2) which is delivered in the state viscous and at very high temperature (temperature of fusion) is forced to move under pressure, downstream direction, around a path N which gives the material M a form of hollow envelope.
- a conformator 16 Downstream of the extrusion head 14 is disposed a conformator 16 into which the fibers 4 are introduced having previously passed through the extrusion head under form of tablecloths, strips or sheathed bundles, as well as, coaxially with these, the matter of cladding M in its viscous form FV.
- grease is also introduced into the shaper 16 protection V intended to fill the tube 2.
- optical fibers 4 have similarly have been represented schematically by a dashed line interrupted.
- the extrusion head 14 being of design essentially classic, it will not be described here in detail.
- optical fibers 4 are introduced from the rear into the extrusion head 14 through a tubular guide 18 which projects up to the level of die N around which the material M, in its viscous form FV.
- the fibers optics 4 then pass through the shaper 16 and penetrate further into a part of it which is partially shown in this figure and very schematic.
- Shaper 16 has two chambers 20 and 22 in which a fluid circulates, such as water to a temperature T1 of the order of 10 to 50 ° C. More particularly, this temperature is maintained between 15 and 25 ° C and can, in some cases, be brought to 40 ° C.
- a fluid circulates, such as water to a temperature T1 of the order of 10 to 50 ° C. More particularly, this temperature is maintained between 15 and 25 ° C and can, in some cases, be brought to 40 ° C.
- Shaper 16 which is also called under the name of calibration tank, is in itself of classic design and will also not be described here in great detail.
- Shaper 16 includes a calibration sleeve 24 against which is pressed by suction, thanks to the depression phenomenon mentioned above, matter M which is thus preformed by the mechanical actions and thermal of the conformator 16, and which therefore takes a solid form referenced FS, corresponding to the form final geometry of the tube, called solid tube, referenced 2 in Figure 3.
- the extrusion die N has a tubing 26 which is arranged so coaxial with the tubular guide 18 and in which circulate at least the optical fibers 4.
- Tubing 26 physically isolates optical fibers 4 as well as the grease V from any contact with the material cladding M, at least up to the introduction of the sheathing material M inside of the calibration sleeve 24 of the shaper 16, i.e. over a distance which is large enough to allow preforming of tube 2 by solidification of the material M, above all contact of this material with fibers 4 and grease protection V.
- the protective grease or "jelly” is injected into inside the tube 2, via the tubing 26.
- the installation according to the invention comprises so coaxial with the tubular guide 18 a peripheral chamber 28 for supplying protective grease (here no shown) which is introduced by a rear connector connected to a pipe, itself connected to a bin or container (not shown).
- protective grease is therefore forced to circulate in the annular chamber 28 coaxially to optical fibers 4 to a mixing chamber 32 formed in the tubing 26.
- the protective grease or "jelly” can be brought to a temperature of around 30 ° to 250 ° C depending on the extra length that is desired on the optical fibers 4.
- a first tray 40 is disposed at controlled temperature in which a liquid circulates at a temperature T2 greater than or equal to temperature T1 of conformator 16.
- a withdrawer main 42 Downstream of this first tank 40 is arranged a withdrawer main 42 which is formed by a large diameter wheel 43 (of the order of 600 to 2500 mm). Inside the withdrawer 42, which forms a vertical reheating tank, is maintained a temperature T3 higher than the temperature T2 chosen according to the desired extra length on the optical fibers 4.
- a second cooling tank 44 held at a temperature T4 generally lower than the temperatures T2 and T3.
- the installation 10 further comprises a withdrawer secondary 46 disposed substantially at the end of the chain manufacturing.
- a voltage regulator 48 is disposed between the main withdrawer 42 and the withdrawer secondary 46 to ensure controlled cable tension 1, between the two withdrawers 42 and 46.
- the cable sheathed 1 is introduced into the tank 40 whose temperature controlled is maintained at a higher temperature T2 or equal to temperature T1, so that tube 2 is reheated after leaving the conformator 16.
